Do PowerPoint presentations have styles, such as Heading 1, Heading 2, Title, Sub-Title, Level 1, Level 2, etc.? If so, where do I find them?
In the Home tab, the only relevant settings I find are font and font size. I don't see a section for Styles like I do in Word.

Re: Do PowerPoint presentations have styles?
The equivalent in PowerPoint is a Slide Master, which defines font size and style for each level of indent (as well as what placeholders exist on the slide). You can have many different Slide Masters within a presentation, and assign these to individual slides.

Re: Do PowerPoint presentations have styles?
I agree with Stuart.
There are no "styles" as one would think of in Word, but as Stuart mentions, when you set up each level of of bullet with a font and size (as well as the title), each slide you add (based on its underlying master) will use the level of font formatting as in the master.

Re: Do PowerPoint presentations have styles?
I am trying to create a heading within my slide. I do not want the heading to have a bullet. The best I am able to achieve is to press Backspace, which deletes the bullet, but does not align the text to the left. The text remains indented, as though there is a hidden bullet.
Is it possible to create a style such as a header that does not have bullets and to then allow all sublevels beneath the header to have bullets and sub-bullets?

Re: Do PowerPoint presentations have styles?
In the slide master, remove the bullet from the first level and format as a title for the slide
The second level bullet can then become the "first" level point...and so on...
When you add text to your presentation, your first bit of text you enter will become the title text. After that, press enter and then use the increase indent button to demote the text to level two, which will create the "first" level points...

Re: Do PowerPoint presentations have styles?
In addition to Rudi's reply, remove the bullet by clicking the Bullets button on the Home tab of the ribbon, not by pressing Backspace.

I have a PowerPoint template that has no bullet on Level 1, with a BOLD font. All other levels use bullets. It works well for me...

How do I get into Slide Master to edit the levels?

Activate the View tab of the ribbon.
Click 'Slide Master' in the 'Master Views' group.
Select the slide at the very top: this is the 'Office Theme Slide Master' from which all others are derived.
The 'Slide Master' tab of the ribbon has a 'Close Master View' button for when you're finished. Alternatively, click the Normal button in the status bar.

Re: Do PowerPoint presentations have styles?
Another way to get to the slide master quickly is to hold down SHIFT and click the "Normal" view button on the status bar.
Make sure (as Hans mentions) to then select the "main" master -- the very top slide in the tree on the left to ensure you edit this slide and not one of the layout masters (unless you specifically intend to edit the layout.)

Re: Do PowerPoint presentations have styles?
I find it much easier to use the keyboard for entering and exiting the Slide Master screens:
ALT-W-M gets to the slide master for the current slide. Another ALT-W-M goes to the master slide for the entire presentation. This is where all the background items are entered, e.g. slide numbers, headers, footers, background graphics, etc.
I use the double ALT-W-M combo often to update footers and total slide count (which has to be done manually as PowerPoint has no facility for automatically updating total slides).
After all changes are made, a simple ALT-M-C closes out of the master slides and back to the normal view.
